...fear! Your local Victoria’s Secret store is now offering slightly cuter, slightly pricier, and much tinier apparel to complete your collection. As much as I support the fine institution that I am lucky enough to call my school, I am also proud to have spent a total of zero dineros on Harvard paraphernalia. I already know what my school is, so why drop the H-bomb with a gigantic crimson “HARVARD” written across my chest? Props for discretion though. And what I really don’t need...
...fabric,” says Baird, as she browses determinedly through the fabric aisles. Finally, she selects a stretchy red-nutmeg fabric shimmering with interwoven threads of gold, along with a bluish-black jersey.

The margin wasn't large enough, though, for him to claim total victory and a run-off was scheduled two weeks later against the runner-up, Nasheed. Gayoom launched blistering attacks on his opponent's credibility, pointing to his lack of experience and claiming he was trying to convert Maldivians to Christianity - a weighty accusation in this staunchly Sunni Muslim state. But with all the opposition factions united behind him, Nasheed turned his deficit from the first vote into...
...General Education committee approved three classes last Thursday at its second meeting of the year, bringing the total number of courses in the new curriculum to 54. Two of the three classes approved were in the sciences—an area in which the committee has had trouble recruiting professors to teach new courses for a general audience. The environmental science course Science B-35: “How To Build a Habitable Planet” will count toward Gen Ed’s Science of the Physical Universe requirement. Life and Physical Sciences A: “Foundational Chemistry...
